If you are just starting out or new to doing automation, I would look at just python scripts executed with CRON if on Linux/Mac or Windows Task Scheduler if on Windows. But you'll need bash (Linux/Mac) knowledge or DOS/batch knowledge (Windows). Then graduate to using frameworks. Since you didnt specify what types of jobs you want to automate, for general purpose needs, I would look at a class of frameworks called task orchestration frameworks or workflow management libraries. I would highly recommend dagster as it comes with a native scheduler so you would be free from having to use CRON or Windows Task Scheduler. Other options include prefect, but if you want its other features like its scheduler and web GUI, you'll have to mess with docker. That's what's nice about dagster, it all works out of the box without need for non-Python dependencies.
